Cancellation notice
Cancelation of activities at our church:In view of our need to care for those among us and in our community most at risk of infection, and after much prayer and consideration, the Pastor and deacons have reached the painful decision that Crainville Baptist Church must cancel all organized activities, including all worship services and group meetings until April 1. During this time, please avoid using the church facilities except for serious need.
We will continue to monitor the situation, and will consider additional measures as they are needed.
The pastor and deacons remain available to minister to any needs in the congregation.*****Sunday 3/22/20 short video message
